Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2011 Réserve Auguste Favier - St Prefert

Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2011 Réserve Auguste Favier - St Prefert

93/100 Parker

Cellaring : Now to 2026

Tasted by Jeb Dunnuck on August 28, 2014 : "The 2011 Châteauneuf du Pape Réserve Auguste Favier (85% Grenache and 15% Cinsault) is deeper and richer on the palate than I remember. Giving off loads of blackberry, licorice, smoky herbs and toasty spice, it has medium to full-bodied richness, nice mid-palate density and a nice core of sweet fruit. It's already drinking beautifully and will have a solid 10-12 years of longevity."
